In a bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, Vanilla Flavoring Extract and oil. Stir until a thick dough forms. Add white chocolate chips and mix until fully combined.
3. Scoop the cookies
Scoop dough into small balls (about 1-1.5 tbsp each) and place on the tray. Leave space for spreading.

FAQ
1. Can I make these cookies without eggs?
Yes! You can substitute eggs with ¼ cup applesauce or a flax egg, though the texture may be slightly softer.
2. Why are my cookies too flat?
This usually happens if there’s too much oil or the dough is too warm. Try chilling the dough before baking.
3. Can I use butter instead of oil?
Yes, melted butter works, but oil gives a softer and more moist texture.
4. Do I need to chill the dough?
Not required, but recommended if your dough is sticky or if you want thicker cookies.
5. Can I make this into cookies sandwiches?
Absolutely! Fill them with cream cheese frosting for an easy red velvet sandwich cookie.
